Now if you check in every 8-10 hours for just a few minutes you can minimize even that to minimal provided you haven't left your borders really week or have an ally backstab you who has armies already in your territory. Now if you check it and issue orders once a day spending as little as 10 minutes nothing too devastating should happen unless you are at war (or about to be) and the enemy has moved close (or is close in the case of some territories where the city is right near the other nation's). Also depends on the game settings, in the one I am in the settings are the ai controls your nation until you return if you don't log on in 2 days. Not fatal if you miss a day or two I would think although it could be quite painful depending on what happens, or it might hardly be at all. It is as much of a time sink as you want it to be. Robert won the throne with his warhammer.' No one but the maesters care about any of it. 'Tell me, what right did my brother Robert ever have to the Iron Throne? Oh, there was talk of the blood ties between Baratheon and Targaryen, of weddings a hundred years past, of second sons and elder daughters. “Rhaegar fought valiantly, Rhaegar fought nobly, Rhaegar fought honorably.

So there are cossacks in the deep South of the US, Michigan, West Africa and they have overrun Scandanavia, Iceland, Greenland and Nova Scotia.

Here is my current map, day 37 I'm the Ukraine (the white territories) The key to survival and victory are strong alliances and logistical superiority in managing long supply lines. Nations are evenly balanced in production, strength, and resources. Map 3 - The Great War (Contains Eastern North America, North Africa and a part of the Middle east) (31 players): A large map with parts of North America, Africa, and Asia bordering the focal point of Europe. There are some minor nations that are always NPC. They start pretty much all the time, you just wait for the slots to fill up I think (I'm just on my first game after all) they last until there is a winner.

How long it last depends on the type of game, I'm on a 31 player map and the victory conditions are standard, one player achieving 50% of the 2000 possible points available. Didn't play Travian but from what I read it has some similarities.
